With Grails we get a lot of extra support for handling request parameters. We can convert a request parameter value to a specific type with a simple method invocation. Grails adds for example the method int() to the parameter so we can return the request parameter value converted to an int. Grails adds several methods like byte(), long(), boolean() we can use in our code. And since Grails 2.0 also support for dates.
